VM will allow you to attach PAV devices to a guest, but does not exploit them directly.
Linux will see each PAV to a spindle as a seperate /dev/dasd? node, and you will have to use LVM or software raid multipathing to get real use out of it. It's a bit of work to configure but it does work and can provide relief from device contention in I/O intensive environments.

What's the latest support for PAV's for VM? To support Linux volumes under VM? Our MVS people want to jump from 3390-3 to 3390-"12" images. No problem for them, they have PAV's. But we have to share the shark. Our preference would be to go to 3390-"12" if there is PAV support, otherwise a smaller device size. Jim Sibley "Computers are useless.They can only give answers."
